Bleach: I'm picking up attributes in Seireitei

Chapter 100 Why is he here again?

Two days later, the Ghost Path group set up camp.

Wang Xun passed through the gate of the Ghost Path Sect and walked along the corridor inside.

In the training ground, many members of the Ghost Path sect were practicing.

Someone saw him come in, their eyes flickered slightly, but they quickly looked away.

"Why is this person here again?"

"I don't know, what would an outsider like you do for us Ghost Path members in your old age?"

"I heard that the Great Ghost Taoist Priest arranged for him to be an unofficial trainee..."

"But...why should I?"

Whispers came from all corners; they didn't try to lower their voices.

Wang Xun remained expressionless, walked straight to the sidelines, and found an inconspicuous spot to stand.

Not long after, Wo Ling Tie Zhai came out from the inner room.

He scanned the entire room, his gaze lingering on Wang Xun for a moment before he nodded slightly. Then, facing the crowd, he spoke in a deep voice.

"You have been practicing the basics of dual chanting for some time now."

"Today, we will test the results of your training."

The team members perked up and stood up straight.

His self-illumination swept over the crowd.

"Who wants to go first?"

The training ground fell silent for a moment as everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then, a young team member with an arrogant expression stepped forward.

Wo Ling Tiezhai nodded.

The team member took a deep breath, raised his hands, and two different types of ghostly spiritual pressure gathered in his palms.

Then, he tried to merge the two orbs of light together.

The moment the two orbs of light made contact, they began to tremble violently.

The team member was sweating profusely as he desperately tried to maintain the sphere, but after only two breaths, the sphere of light collapsed with a deafening roar.

He retreated with a grim expression, followed by a chorus of laughter.

Several other people tried, and the results were similar; the best one only lasted for less than three breaths.

Tetsuzai Wakashi remained expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger.

But the atmosphere around them clearly began to become somewhat somber.

Wo Ling Tiezhai's gaze fell on Wang Xun in the corner of the field.

"Wang Xun, you've been studying for about the same amount of time as them, why don't you give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xun looked at Wo Ling Tie Zhai.

All eyes in the training field instantly focused on it.

He walked to the center of the field and raised his hands.

Crimson and cyan began to intertwine and rotate, forming a stable double helix structure.

The team members who were whispering just moments before were now much quieter, and many of them looked quite resentful.

They suddenly realized that this person might be the one the Great Ghost Taoist Priest was using to warn them.

After Wang Xun finished his demonstration, he dissipated his spiritual pressure and stepped aside.

Wo Ling Tiezhai nodded, his tone indifferent.

"good."

But a hint of appreciation clearly flashed in those deep eyes.

"A few days ago, he came to the Ghost Path Clan for the first time, but now he has successfully mastered the basics of dual incantation."

"Some of you have been practicing for over two months, but how many of you have actually succeeded?"

"Keep practicing," he said, turning to the team members. "Some of you are being too lax."

The team members remained silent and dispersed to practice.

But Wang Xun could sense that those gazes had become more complicated.

It wasn't just contempt and resentment; at this moment, jealousy and confusion were also intertwined.

During a training break, several members dressed in Ghost Path Clan uniforms took advantage of the rest time to walk up to Wang Xun and look him up and down.

Which squad are you from?

Wang Xun glanced at the group of people; judging from their clothing and attitude, they were all noblemen.

After all, ordinary people rarely have the means to enter the Ghost Path.

Unlike the Gotei 13, the Kidoshu, like the Onmitsukido, are the private domains of nobles.

"The Covert Combat Team, Division 2".

The man was taken aback.

"The Covert Combat Team?"

"Yes."

"Why are you, a member of the Stealth Movement, not properly honing your hand-to-hand combat skills, coming here to learn Kido?"

After receiving a response from the covert operations team, the questioner's contempt and hostility noticeably subsided, and his arrogant attitude softened somewhat.

However, Wang Xun did not answer.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the man frowned slightly and glanced at the longhouse next to the training ground.

Woriya Tetsuzai was resting inside and did not pay attention to the commotion outside.

"Even though you're from the Covert Task Force, it's not appropriate for an outsider like you to frequently come and go from places like this."

""

Upon hearing this, the other team members around him turned to look.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

At that moment, Tetsuzai's voice came from behind them.

"Wang Xun is a specially approved extra-staff student. If you have any opinions, you can speak with me."

The team member's expression changed, and he turned to look at the Taoist priest who had appeared out of nowhere, and quickly bowed.

"No, I wouldn't dare."

Wo Ling Tiezhai walked up to the two men, his gaze falling on the team member, his tone calm yet carrying an invisible pressure.

"He's studying the Dao in the Fourth Division, learning Kido from the Kido Clan, and still managing his Onmitsukidō training. What about you guys?"

"Complacent with the status quo, lacking ambition, and with an extremely negative attitude towards training."

"Does getting a job simply because of your ancestors' connections mean you think everything is fine?"

The team member lowered his head and remained silent, his jaw clenched tightly in the shadows where no one could see him.

Wo Ling Tiezhai scanned the entire field, his gaze finally settling on that team member.

"Any other questions?"

The team member's face flushed red, and finally, he managed to squeeze out a few words through clenched teeth.

"I'm sorry, Master Ghost, it was my... offense."

After saying that, he and the others behind him turned and left.

Wang Xun stood still, his expression unchanged, quietly watching the conflict between Wo Ling Tie Zhai and his teammates.

He vaguely guessed the purpose of this great Taoist master's special permission for him to come and study within the Taoist community.

Unfortunately, the outcome seems to have differed from his expectations.

It seems that even within the Ghost Path Clan, there isn't a monolithic entity.

The team atmosphere is far worse than that of the covert operations team.

Wo Ling Tiezhai frowned as he watched the departing team members, his lips twitching slightly, but he ultimately said nothing more.

"These guys are used to being arrogant. I will increase the pressure on these team members from now on. Please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xun spoke softly.

"It's alright."

"I was wondering why the Great Ghost Master had asked me to come to the Ghost Path Clan to learn. Turns out, he wanted to use me to spur on these lazy members."

"But now it seems to have the opposite effect."

Wo Ling Tiezhai's face was grave as he let out a heavy sigh.

"I'm sorry, young man."

"These guys are even more short-sighted than I expected."

Wang Xun smiled lightly, quite carefree.

"Master Gui, there's no need to take it to heart."

"I'm here to learn, not to make friends. What they think of me is none of my business."

He glanced sideways at the team members who were still practicing, his voice so soft that only the two of them could hear him.

"Besides... if they can train harder because of my existence, then I will have made a contribution to the Kido Clan."

"I don't care about anything else."

After all, having enough fragments to collect is enough.

Upon hearing this, Wo Ling Tiezhai gave him a deep look.

Those deep eyes were full of admiration, and also a hint of barely perceptible... anticipation.

"Wo Ling Tiezhai said slowly."

"Fine, just focus on your studies and don't worry about them."

"Speaking of which, you have already laid a very solid foundation in dual chanting. Shall we start learning the techniques that follow?"

'

Although Wang Xun had already learned from Unohana, Tessai Wakabishi's demonstration must have contained different insights and fragments.

Including his previous private practice in the Fourth Division and the subsequent guidance from Unohana, his proficiency in dual chanting has made encouraging progress.

[Dual Chanting: Beginner (45%)]

Thinking of this, Wang Xun nodded slightly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Great Ghost Taoist."
